I don't spend a lot of time in here anymore but I can make an exception for this thread.
Sara, I know you have the resolve to deal with this and make it though and knowing your attitude, frankly, you aren't going to take shit from cancer.
You know that if you ever need people to talk to or help cheer you up there are plenty of us here for you.
Best of luck with everything and you know where to find me.

sara try not to freak out over those four months, yes cells divide rapidly all the time, but you will not know yet if its a fast growing cancer or not. If it is they will use combination or target therapy to attack it, we have come a long way in treating cancer these days.
Have you thought about freezing some of your eggs before having some more surgery again, by what you said earlier its quite likely you will have to have a full hysterectomy from where the cells have infiltrated.

I am certain that you will be fine. Hopefully your doctors won't screw anything else up while they take care of things, or failing that at least make them use that insurance they're paying for anyway.

well, they all come in threes. In the last week that's now the 3rd person who i know or who is close to me who's diagnosed. friend of my auntie & uncle who i've known since I was a baby was diagnosed with it, and yesterday my brothers father-in-law to be terminal with only months at the most left. not a good time at all.
fluggles for you sara. I have nothing else that i can offer than what everyone else has done already. stay strong xx

No, I don't really want to do that. It doesn't seem natural, and I got used to the idea of not being able to have kids years ago...

Add me to the list of people that are coming out of the woodwork to post in this thread.
Sara, I was just on your myspace page about to post a comment about you selling your house. How strange that would have sounded congratulating you.
My heart goes out to you. I've been there myself, but my situation never advanced to what yours has so I can't begin to imagine what you're feeling. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

We had to bring someone to our pre-chemo session therapy class and didn't want to drag any of my friends because it's hard enough for them to think of their friend with cancer, so I emotionally brought you, Sarah You've been in my thoughts and prayers. We're some of the strongest people to have to be going through this. It's been 6 months for me, so if I can do it.... you can do it

Sara, I work with some excellent women cancer surgeons. I've done the procedure you're talking about 2343 times. Feel free to PM me with any questions. Don't let them cut you open, you can do the surgery via scopes/cameras.
